Inside a Patriot roof
A roof is a system, not just shingles. Here is every layer we install, and what changes from one package to the next.

Every Patriot roof starts the same way
- Full tear-off, every time. We take the old roof down to the wood deck so the deck, valleys and openings can be checked and fixed. We do not lay new shingles over old ones. What happens when rot is found.
- Atlas Signature Select systems on our shingle roofs. We are an Atlas PRO+ contractor at the Gold level, and we install the full Atlas system rather than shingles alone. That is what makes the roof eligible for the Signature Select system warranty, which covers materials and workmanship together.
- Algae protection. 3M Scotchgard Protector is factory applied to the Atlas lines we install, to resist the black streaks common on humid Arkansas roofs.
- Written guarantees with terms. Every package carries a Patriot Leak Free Guarantee and a No-Blame-Game Guarantee for a set number of years, plus our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Read every guarantee.

Which package fits
Guardian is our Class 4 impact-rated shingle, which may qualify for a homeowners insurance discount depending on your insurer. Armor is a 26-gauge steel panel roof for homeowners who want the longest life. Shield is a standard architectural shingle for a sound roof at the lowest price. Your Roofing Specialist gives you a written price for all four at a free replacement inspection, and most replacements take 1 to 2 days.
